On 7 April Bay Bridge began his second season in a novice race over ten furlongs on Tapeta at Newcastle Racecourse when he was ridden by P. J. McDonald and started at odds 9/4.
Ridden by Ryan Moore he raced towards the rear in the early stages before going to the front two furlongs from the finish and stayed on well to come home four lengths clear of the runner-up King Frankel.
[9] After a break of almost five months Bay Bridge returned for a ten furlong all-aged handicap at York Racecourse when he was ridden by Richard Kingscote and started favourite under top weight of 132 pounds.
He was restrained towards the rear of the field by Kingscote before producing a strong late run which saw him gain the advantage in the closing stages and win by half a length from the six-year-old gelding Platinumcard.
He raced in second place before moving up to join the front-running Majestic Dawn approaching the final furlong and got the better of a sustained struggle to win by half a length.
With Moore in the saddle he went off the 7/4 second favourite behind the Gordon Richards Stakes winner Mostahdaf in a five-runner field which also included Addeybb, Lord Glitters and Dubai Future.
